yellow, if you add oxygen it will turn blue.
Foolish Fools!, it does infact turn Green! because the oxygen bonds with the copper to form copper oxide, wich is green, it reflects different fractions of light to the copper
Copper turns green because if forms a coating of copper acetate upon exposure to air and moisture
no,thats not right OXYGEN CAN TURN LITMUS GREEN.
Litmus paper turns green ( rather than pink or red ) because it has been exposed to an alkaline source.
The grass turns green when it is exposed to sunlight.
No metal actually "turns green", although copper and possibly others develop surface layers that are green when exposed to many natural atmospheres. Copper turns green when it reacts with sulphur (sulfur) in the air, forming copper sulfide.
There is no well-known "Green-penny hypothesis" as far as I can tell. I suppose some student every so often creates their own hypothesis about why pennies turn green, but they are certainly not well-known, or even slightly-known.
oxygen.
First, copper doesn't "turn green," it reacts with oxygen in the air to form copper oxide. This is a chemical change, because copper oxide is a substance that was not there before.
Now that's strange. Most of the plants in my garden are green and they are all exposed to air.
Most metals like gold and platinum will not turn your finger green unless you have a metal allergy. Most people are allergic to the alloys added to thee metals for strength like copper. Sterling silver and platinum are two of the hypoallergenic metals.
The reason that copper turns green is the same reason the metal rusts, oxidization. Both metal and copper oxidize when exposed to oxygen and this is a natural process. Copper that is exposed to the outside environment is more likely to turn green and that is why copper vases and decorative pieces in gardens are often green. Copper is a metal that does not react with water (H2O), but the oxygen of the air will react slowly at room temperature to form a layer of brown-black copper oxide on copper metal which looks like green sometimes...

Copper will turn green when it's exposed to sodium chloride or salt.
